I used this same kit but it came with 13" willwood calipers and rotors. Kit fitted great except for one upper ball joint shaft was to short. I also used their master cylinder and booster kit for 66 c10. works perfect.

Awesome! thanks for the reply. I am glad to hear this I couldn't find much for reviews and I don't have an overload of cash so its hard to order something this expensive without knowing what I am going to get. Thanks again

Hey I just picked up a 66 C-10 and am looking to use the same kit. Do you have any pictures of your conversion or any recommendations?

The original 15", 6 lug steel wheels are not compatible with any disc brake assembly.

Re: Brake Conversion kit (Perfprmance Online)
Cool yea it looks like a good kit. I think I will wait and save alil more so I can buy wheels that work. Probably some rallys. I just sold my 15x8 rallys to a friend that were bought 11 years ago at "truck shop" in orange. Should of kept them but oh well. I will let you know how they work out for me. Thanks

Re: Brake Conversion kit (Perfprmance Online)
That depends on what you are looking for and expecting. I make 5 rear disc conversion brackets. You would have to source the remainder of the parts locally. Links to the for sale threads in my sig line.
